Bosch SHPM78Z55N

When our 17-year-old dishwasher finally gave out, we decided it was time for an upgrade. My son had been raving about Bosch ever since he moved into a place decked out with their appliances. We chose the 800 series because it checked all the boxes: super quiet, top-notch cleaning, crystal dry, hidden controls, and a sleek design. So far, it’s been a total game-changer—our dishes and cookware come out sparkling every time. Bosch has a solid rep for quality and durability, which is exactly what we look for in anything we buy. We don’t mind spending a little extra for something that’s built to last and gets the job done right.

My husband and I are total over-researchers when it comes to buying anything—it might drive some people nuts. After our usual deep dive and sticking to our budget, this dishwasher came out on top! We’ve had it for about two months now and run it almost five times a week. Here’s what we love: it’s insanely quiet, cleans like a pro, holds a ton of stuff, and has loads of wash options. Bonus—none of those weird smells some reviews mentioned. It’s a perfect mix of style and function. Just make sure you know the basics, like how to load it right and use the settings, but it’s not rocket science. Highly recommend!

This is the third home we’ve remodeled, and we’ve always installed Bosch dishwashers. This newer model has great features, a ton of options, and it’s super quiet. The dishes dry beautifully too. But here’s the downside—it doesn’t clean as well as expected. We’ve tried different soaps, rinsing everything before loading, and nothing seems to get the dishes as clean as they should be. It’s pretty disappointing. I’ve reached out to Bosch and even contacted the store where we bought it, but I haven’t heard anything back. It seems like these days you have to choose between quiet and good cleaning. We never had this issue with the other Bosch dishwashers we’ve owned.

I had to wait four months to get my dishwasher, but honestly, it was totally worth it. This is my third Bosch, and it’s super quiet, plus it has the Crystal Dry feature, which I love. The only issue I had was that this model is a bit deeper than my previous ones, so it didn’t fit properly. I had to bring in a pro handyman to take it out and tweak the toe kick on the other side of the cabinet to make sure it was secure. Now, I can open my silverware drawer without it hitting the control panel, which is awesome. The fix wasn’t cheap, but now it’s all set, and I’ll be enjoying my new dishwasher for years to come!

I used to swear by GE dishwashers, but the last one only lasted 3 years. A bunch of my friends had Bosch dishwashers and loved them, so I decided to look into it. Initially, I thought I wanted the 300 or 500 Series, but after reading about the CrystalDry feature on the 800 Series, I went with that. Bosch doesn’t have a heating element, so some people mentioned that things don’t always dry completely. I ran my first load using the Eco Wash and didn’t turn on CrystalDry, and the plastic glasses came out about 95% dry. On the next load, I used CrystalDry, and everything was fully dry. It’s so quiet, and the red light at the bottom of the door is a great way to know it’s running.

I’ve had a few different dishwasher brands in the past, but the Bosch 800 series blows them all out of the water. It works amazingly well and is so quiet that I actually have to check under the unit to see if the red light is on, just to make sure it’s running. Every dish comes out sparkling clean, and the third shelf for silverware is honestly one of the smartest additions I’ve ever seen to a dishwasher. I can’t believe I survived so many years without such a great machine. While it’s not the cheapest option, it’s absolutely worth every penny. I’m planning to update the rest of my kitchen appliances this year, and I’ve already decided to go with the Bosch 800 series for all of them. This brand is definitely one you can trust.

The Bosch 800 series dishwasher is by far the best I’ve had. I’ve owned several others, but this one beats them all. It’s so quiet that I’m grateful for the operating light that shines a dot on the floor, letting me know it’s working. It cleans and dries better than any other dishwasher I’ve used. Bosch made the installation a breeze with easy front leveling and simple connections at the back. Like all Bosch appliances, I’m confident this one will last for many years to come.

I waited a couple of months before reviewing my new Bosch dishwasher because I wanted to make sure it was really living up to expectations. From the moment I started using it, I was blown away by how QUIET it is! But even more impressive, my husband was shocked by how sparkling clean our glasses and dishes came out. I honestly wanted to pull out every dish, glass, silverware, and pot from my cupboards just to wash them in the Bosch and make everything gleam. I’m also really happy with the design, both inside and out. I removed the utensil baskets because the top drawer works perfectly for us. And now that I’ve learned to group forks, spoons, and knives together, unloading is a breeze. I’m so glad I went with a Bosch when I replaced my old (non-Bosch) dishwasher!

This is my first Bosch dishwasher and the first one with controls on top. It took a little getting used to, especially making sure I set everything correctly and checking for the red operating light on the floor. The pets are totally fascinated by the red light! Lol. I’m still figuring out the best way to arrange the racks. The top tray doesn’t really allow for tall glasses on the middle rack, so I might just remove it. You have to use the bottom rack for tall glasses. The utensil holder is on the side of the bottom rack, which makes it a bit tricky to quickly toss in last-minute utensils. It washes really well and is super quiet. So far, so good! Most dishwashers last about three years in my family, so I’m hoping this one lasts longer.

I’ve only had the 800 series for a few days, but WOW, this thing really knows how to clean! The dishes come out squeaky clean and dry, thanks to the CrystalDry feature. Larger cups or ones with a little recess on the bottom might have a drop or two of water left, but they’re still clean and dry inside—nothing major to complain about. We were originally considering the 500 series, but after hearing some negative reviews about the drying (the pop-open door), we decided to go with the 800 series instead. If you can swing it, do yourself a favor and get the 800—it’s worth the extra cost. It does everything you want a dishwasher to do, and it does it really well. Very satisfied!

I’ve used a lot of dishwashers in my time, but this one is by far the worst. The design is just bad—it’s hard to fit frying pans inside because the “rows” are too narrow. And as for wine glasses, there’s no good place to put them—they just lean over and fall down. There’s no delicate wash setting, which is a huge issue since I have a lot of delicate, handmade dishes that need to be rinsed with warm water, not steamed. The third rack isn’t great either—I’d rather place large pots on the second rack, but they don’t fit. Plus, the third rack isn’t removable. I’ve only had it for two weeks, and I already can’t stand it. I’m replacing it and selling this one on Craigslist for way less than I paid.
